I've only been on this list for a short time, so please feel free to
redirect me to another list if this is off-topic for this list...
I'm looking for an MLM (or alternatives would be considered) that could
handle the following:
1. scheduling sends of moderated messages (ie send out message x at 1am,
messages y,z at 2am etc...).
This one I can find in most MLMs in varying forms but I also need this:
2. mail merge capability. I prefer to be able to send a message template, a
control file, and a data file to a "merger" that would make substitutions
from the data file into the message template based on directions from the
control file. Extracting the data from a database would be another option.
Anybody have some experiences in this area as to what would be a good MLM
for these needs? I've looked at Majordomo, Listar, Sympa, Listproc, ezmlm,
Listserv (and unless I've missed some documentation on the others Listserv
is the closest to what I need, and that's what I may opt for, though it's
pretty pricey).
If no MLM fits my needs, any suggestions on what open source code might be
the best to look at as far as modifying for my needs? Someone on the ezmlm
list suggested modifying qmail for the mail merge feature - sounds OK. Any
other experiences?
Thanks in advance for your help.
